Fuck spoilers I'm watching this
Hey Ack Man
I prefer DOOM 2016's grounded, darker artstyle much more than Eternal's. That is the only problem I have with the game.
I get it
“The slayer has entered the facility”
Random demon: The W H A T
I think the best part of this is that I posted it while I was doing religion homework
15 minutes later : ''The Slayer has acquired the BFG''
Random demon : *THE W H A T*
Random demon: *coughs out cigar*
Say WHAT?!?!
*shoots a hole into the center of mars*
Satan: W H A T I N T H E H E A V E N
Hey the word “demon” is racist you bigot! U must call them “mortally challenged”
Mick Gordon is so metal he should be added to the periodic table.
Do you ever go outside
i see you everywhere
"Mickgordium"
You could say he should be a *HEAVY METAL*
What do you think Mg stands for
"Here's an idea, what about a horde mode"
That aged so well
He even described the features it would have perfectly
its a shame they didnt really bother to do much with it thus far. one set of maps, it tends to play out more or less the same. next level posessed/demon combos kinda ruin it for me. its not really fun fighting enemies that effortlessly hunt you down in a tiny arena over and over again lol. possesed maruader is a warcrime lol.
@@pyrelord8763 lol hammer destroys regular marauder they had to bring a spirit marauder
@@pyrelord8763 aye ngl I understand completely. But if your a no life playing this game it's pretty fun. I love the challenge. Everytime I accidentally use the bfg or crucible I load last check point because it makes it to easy.
I am not going to like this comment for a reason
this game is absolutely worth 60$, i have literally replayed it so many times, it is genuinely that fun. 11/10 game.
It is, but for whatever reason, the game keeps crashing for me every few minutes, even with updated graphics drivers, my system meeting the system requirements, and all my graphical settings set to low even if my rig is more than capable of reaching 100 fps around Ultra+ settings.
I just wanna rip and tear man, but no I keep crashing.
@@zerozone5848 that’s unfortunate, hopefully soon you’ll be able to get ripping and tearing.
@@zerozone5848 I hate to say it but you either A. Have a absolute potato for a computer or B. Lying. Eternal is optimized to perfection
@@mayonnaise3959 I hate to break it to you but. A. a rig with 16gb of ram and a 2060 is definitely not down to potato PC standards, and I can play other heavyweight games like Elden Ring, Battlefield V, and Doom 2016 without fps and crashing issues and B. I never said nor implied that Doom Eternal is unoptimized because the entire game is still under 100gb even after TAG 1 and 2 so yes this game is well optimized, I just didn't understand why I'm crashing despite having the right system, and updated graphics drivers.
But it doesn't matter now, because for some reason I just enabled Vsync and my crashing issue was relieved.
Good for you! I'm never going to play it so every extra time you play it makes up for how much I'm going to terminally avoid this game for not being true Doom, and for being a garbage weapon swap shooter jrpg in motion with jumping puzzles.
he's not getting soft, he doesn't punch the upgrade bots because they're vega's, not the UAC's
Yea, fuck those uac bots
He cares about Vega. Good guy Doom Slayer.
Cuz vega did nothing wrong while the UAC....
Y'know he was joking when he said that right...
That makes sense.

oh wait, wrong level
Doomguy: big gun go bang bang haha
great video, just wanna mention, the marauder is meant to be the first introduction to quickswitching. the moment you learn how to switch weapons better, he becomes infinitely easier to fight. even on console, just swapping between ssg and ballista is enough to take him out in a couple of cycles. even if you're not at mid range, the moment he shoots out the axe beam thing, he will rush you and do the green eye attack. i know this is from last year, but i just felt this might help someone whos having some trouble.
Honestly if he didn’t have that infernal hound it would have been so much better
O do t need to be punished for him being in the shot radius when I’m thinning out the ranks
@@jmurray1110 the hound is to punish your ass for spamming bullets outside of his punish window.
@@jmurray1110 the dog is so easy and mostly non-existent. One ballista or ssg shot and it's gone. Out of the 30+ marauders i've fought, they were only a threat once
@@viewera on its own sure but the issue is when it nibbles you after you didn’t notice the shield was hit and you were focusing on a different enemy
@@jmurray1110 i mean, it howls when it spawns, it barks when it's nearby or attack, it's pretty easy to notice when the dog is after you. Aside from that should your priority always be to kill the dog before anything else, it's very easy to kill so it shouldn't give much trouble.
Sad to see Mick Gordon had a hard time with this games music and horrible time dealing with the lies the hire ups said about him. Bro makes some beautiful beats and people who wrong him, will HEAR THE RIFFS OF HIS 9 STRING!
@@forehand101 what even happened??
What did mick Gordon do
@@Frogggle tldr; Mick didnt get to start making the OST til 3/4 done with the production of the game due to ID software not letting him make the OST according to the maps and feel of the game due to not sharing the maps and the like with him, he had to work overtime and sleep under his workplace for months on end and they refused to pay him. Honestly watch Ludwig or Moist Critical coverage on it, and there were many more things i didnt mention.

Dialogue forgetable? You don't remember: "The longer the icon of sin stays on hearth, the stronger it becomes." or "You can't just shoot a hole into the surface of Mars!"
You're forgetting ⚠ Warning ⚠ The BFG 10,000 is firing boy.

Some may look at it as bland and forgettable, but it was beautifully meme-able and memorable for the rest of us.
Wonder if Acting Man has played the DLCs and master levels. A retrospect video would be really cool
Honestly, most people who made a video of this game during it's early launch days need to do some sort of retrospective or a "in hindsight," video.
He didn't I asked him in the red dead stream
I found the ammo restrictions really rewarding. Having to balance health, armour and ammo forces you to be careful which demons you kill when and how you do it, and by the time I got to the end of the game I really felt like I’d mastered it and it just felt so good
So completely opposite to the actual flow of all the other Doom games, where you tend to choose a weapon and stick with it until you're low on ammo and you just shoot things until everything is dead.
@@hariman7727 False. Doom series always had resource management. The difference in the new games is that you can gain resources from killing enemies. In the old games it was purely based on replenishing resources from exploration and secrets. While the ammo cap is much larger in the old games it doesn't really mean much when the pickup locations are quite scarce around the levels. Guns also did way less damage, you fought more enemies per level and enemies were much tanker. I was regularly low on ammo in many moments using whatever I had to kill enemies playing Doom 2 on Ultra-violence.
@@hailbane9633 even with that being true, that changes the entire dynamic of the game and Doom 2 locks you into the shoot chainsaw shoot chainsaw cycle instead of letting people find their own pace.
It's the difference between devil May Cry games and final fantasy X in combat.
Devil May Cry games give you a bunch of cool moves and you can string them together as you want.
Final fantasy X you're locked into swap again specific party members because they are the only one that can handle certain enemies.
@@hariman7727 Yea and Call of Duty forces you to shoot, move, reload and hide behind cover. How is this even an argument? Every video game on earth locks you into its core fundamental mechanics in order to beat it. In Doom 1 and Doom 2 you are forced to move, shoot and explore for resources to replenish them. Eternal literally just inherits the previous games loop of gaining resources from the enemy & playing aggressively and expands on it. You didn't seem to have issues with shoot glory kill for health shoot loop in the previous game. Eternal literally plays like Devil May Cry fps and was an inspiration for the combat according to Hugo Martin. You are given bunch of weapons and tools and you figure out interesting combos. Both games on harder difficulties require mastery to beat it.
@@banes4908 and you completely missed the point of my comment.
The way the devs want me to play Doom eternal sucks cloaca in my book, so Doom 2016 does not have a sequel.
Bro Doomguy was so rich from all those games he bought himself a dope ass space base
lmao and we love it
It's a castle...in space. The Imperium would be proud.
He also had some left over to buy Quake, Quake III: Arena, and DOOM 2.

"i had to swap weapons every 5 seconds and chainsaw a guy every minute"
that's the entire point
But you seem to have missed his point that it's a tad annoying.
@@L3monsta think of the chainsaw as a reload animation
@@EpicGamer-kj1tj it basically is, yes.
I chainsaw basically immediately when I can, it’s just a reflex at this point
@@chonchjohnch But is just over repeating and boring to do so. Not a fan of it
16:33 that's... the point of the game. You're supposed to be switching weapons instead of relying on the SSG all the time. That's how weapon combos work.
16:56 that's why you have the chainsaw, and that refuels every 10 seconds
17:29 you wouldn't see that if you implemented the chainsaw into your gameplay to resupply ammo. The chainsaw isn't there so you can blow through all your ammo and restock. You use it at around half ammo to keep the gameplay going, and you'll never run out of ammo
17:55 you should be swapping weapons for LESS than every 5 seconds. It's in the loading screen tutorials that it's a part of the combat loop. And you SHOULD be using the chainsaw every minute or so because that's it's purpose.
Then again, this review was made a little after release, so I can understand that the gameplay wasn't fully understood
Yeah, he made this very early on, and I don't think he fully understood the new "meta" if you can call it that.
They already have reason to switch weapons baked into the game in the fact that different enemies are weak to different weapons. They didn't need to force your hand to change weapons so regularly by having the ammo count so low. That's why it's annoying. I'd rather choose to switch weapons regularly due to tactical decision making than because I have low ammo so frequently.
@@L3monsta You shouldn't have low ammo so frequently. The fully upgraded ammo cap was pretty reasonable for the most part. Only are rockets low in ammo capacity with 13. 180 machine rounds and 250 plasma rounds is plenty. 24 shotgun is little low but still reasonable. Previous game gave out too much ammo especially supershotgun rounds.
@@L3monsta they give you a fucking chainsaw to replenish your ammo dude...
I got to be honest, this sounds like really ass gameplay.
Don't force me into your combat loop where I have to change weapons constantly and the chainsaw is required because the developers can't balance the ammo count or enemies anymore.
They never made a sequel to Doom.
They made their own game with doom trappings, and jumping puzzles to drag it out for more than 2 hours.
The soundtrack in itself is worth $60. Good to see we get a free game too!
Doom always knew how to make a badass soundtrack

@@tales9476 I'm guessing Snap Map took a large portion of the required space. Certainly doesn't look like textures were downgraded.

21:58 “You couldn’t just copy the Gladiator into fights with other demons”
TAG1 masters: “Bring him”
I think the ammo count was designed to be the way it is to balance ultra violence difficulty. Rather than turn the enemy into meat shields or the tile to kill you into something like Halo 2 legendary, you are constantly forced to search the map for every little bit of fuel for your chainsaw and scrap of ammo you can pick up.
Chainsaw last fuel pip actually regenerates infinitely every 20 sec.

Hey u edited it nice
A very overrated game and series
Agreed
“Dialogue is forgettable”
99% of one of the missions dialogue: THE LONGER THE ICON OF SIN IS ON EARTH, THE STRONGER HE WILL BECOME
THAT IS A WEAPON NOT A TELEPORTER , YOU CAN JUST SHOOT A HOLE IN THE SURFACE OF MARS
I don’t know how many times I’ve heard that phrase
@@g8way818 you've likely heard it 570,000,000,000,000,000,000 times
The same mission, one of the projections asks the demons “Can someone kill this idiot?!”
"YOU WERE NEVER ONE OF US, YOU WERE NOTHING BUT A USURPER, A FALSE IDOL"
The DLCs really bring the story together.
I think the story is pretty amazing honestly.
For me this is the best FPS I’ve ever played! Because it does what other FPS titles should be doing: JUST. GO. FUCKING. NUTS. It’s fast paced, bloody, and just gives you an adrenaline rush!
"Remember, demons can be an offensive word. The preferred term is Mortally Challenged." Has to be my favorite quote from this game

Yeah I love the marauders they're so fun to fight against when you clear every other demon in the level
This only furthers my opinion that the creators wanted to make a jrpg instead of a doom game.
Same brother idk a lot people complain about them badass mfs me ohh noo I get black air Force energy as soon as I make eye contact with one the slayer makes u feel unstoppable

LameMovieCo yeah for real played on nightmare diff and those grenade upgrades really help out 🔥
I doubt now act man really played this game that well. He probably sped through it and thats why he said the story was bad and some upgrades were not impactful.
Yeah I'm calling bullshit on that. IF nothing else upgrades to my armor and health helped keep me alive, especially since I did go back to prior levels and surviving them was a cake walk and I was playing on Ultra Violence.
These shouldn't be allowed to review this damn game without understanding the game's mechanics first.
@@modernwarrior24 Yeah I know right? I actually cringed when he also tried to shit on the story with the dumb music, the story if anything is amazing.
22:05 Yes, just keep hitting his shield, I'm sure it will work out greay
I actually disagreed with a lot of his statements. The first one was about how he said, "forgettable, characters are forgettable, dialogue is forgettable and the plot is forgettable". In my "opinion" Bethesda made a memorable story on how the Doomslayer is fighting through the forces of hell to stop the Priests and the Khan Maykr from destroying Earth. Also, the betrayer is not forgettable he's a badass with a cool big hammer.
The story isn't neccesarily meant to be memorable and/or thrilling, it's just there to string the action sequences together. And that's not a bad thing, the gameplay is where the Doom games have always shone the brightest.
Hell, even the Marauder wasn’t THAT bad like he makes it out to be. And it is very very different from 2016

I just finished this game today, and tbh, I thought it was an amazing experience. I like DOOM 2016's visuals, boxart, demon designs, and overall arstyle a lot better, but this game's environments, story, and gameplay better. I changed my skin a lot, but for the most part, especially in the end game, I found myself rocking the 2016 Praetor suit, because that one's my favorite. I really enjoyed the final boss. I thought it was really satisfying to see his armor then body fall apart over time. My only complaint about the final boss was that it felt a little too long, but maybe that's just my fault. Overall, I thought it was an amazing game, and would highly recommend this, especially to FPS fans.
Especially since in order to actually do damage I was constantly relying on the super weapons and finding the ammo possessed was a chore at times
Especially since for some reason you only get 2 shots for the BFG at full ammo

THEY WERENT WRONG UNTIL THE SHOTGUN+BALLISTA META DECIDED TO BECOME A THING 😂😂
I agree with that mentality since it makes you feel that the Marauder somehow has a semblance of being a worthy challenge as he represents a sort of an equal to you.
I mean he is ofc you but as a demon. I mean imagine how the demons feel after getting shotgun blasted, killed in long range the marauder is supposed to be an equal but in the end you'll come up top
The Marauder's good but they could have at least made him less of an annoyance either by removing the shield or the Hell wolves he spawns in.
Shield Marauder = Tactical gameplay
Hell Wolf Marauder = Keeps you moving and on the defensive to avoid being attacked by the Hell Wolf
Current Marauder = Just a pure annoyance.
@@ghostalpha2886 don't shoot the shield and don't kite him into enemies that can shoot his shield. No puppies will spawn. Another big brain move you can allow yourself - shoot the dog.

So what if we have to use the chainsaw to get more? In CoD, you gotta press square to reload after every 30 bullets. Having to chainsaw every 60 seconds or so is nothing, compared to that. That's why the fuel regenerates. It's no big deal.
Also, the Marauder is highly misunderstood. But I'll leave it at that since I've already made a whole two paragraphs about the chainsaw.
Complaining about the marauder:
Okay what the hell is that gameplay
Tbh, I never saw Doomguy as an edgy/brooding "rage golem." It just fit him to be a mostly polite, cheery, and friendly kind of person in my eyes, despite the absolutely monstrous amount of suffering he's endured. It's clear he's still a regular human man deep inside, with his skateboard, nunchucks, workshop, guitars, comic books, gaming computer... and Daisy.
I honestly could imagine him being the DJ at a party, my guess is he would be a good one too.

i mean, he do be scarred tho, like hes LITERALLY been through hell and back
If it where me, I think if he where to encounter say a stranded child in the invasion, he’d bust his ass to protect them
@@TheRealArtimusKnight
He could probably quite literally yeet the child to safety
I really liked the story actually, I thought it was a refreshing way of telling it. Not at all boring to me.
Me too. Act man doesn't like to read apparently. If you read the codex pages you get a good fleshed out story. Same as in the first game.
@@Whyyin
The lore in the codex explains the story, and you don’t Need to read much of it to be honest.
@@requiemlul3140 exactly, I'd say you probably only need Sentinel History codex and Urdaak History codex to really get the "complete" story.
Even without the codex I thought the story was good. Not halo good, but good. I wanted to kill the hell priests and I hated the maykrs just as much as doom guy. Without a good story I never would have felt the want to do so.
@@Whyyin Yeah presentation is super important. Lore can be deep without it being presented like a textbook, and the story could've been told better (it doesn't need to show everything in the codexes, just enough so it's at least somewhat good)
Bruh the story in Eternal is just so much better. 2016 explained argent energy and a bit about the demon hierarchy. Eternal has the Sentinels, Maykrs, how the whole universe came to be, the Slayer's story and so much more. As for the main plot 2016 was like: Argent energy bad, go to hell close portal oh no woman opened a new one go close it, while Eternal was: universe in danger, kill priests to stop invasion then kill God (not even counting the dlcs).
The point of the marauder is to force you to focus him first and he only summons the wolf when you shoot his shield (and that you do a LOT ngl)
I take out every other demon so I can focus on him and only him
26:15 He probably doesn't punch the drones anymore because they have VEGA's name on them, and VEGA is one of the only beings he truly cares for.
cacodemon DOOT exactly what I was going to say
Why did he leave him in Urdak then?
@@DarkKosmic Because he had no other choice? Either leave him there so he could open the portal to Earth and defeat the Icon of Sin, or take him and be unable to have a portal. It's pretty simple.
Christian Vennemann Nothing said you couldn’t take him out once he realigned the rings, there wasn’t even hesitation or anything. Nothing in the game indicated “no choice”, at least him reaching for the drive then Samuel saying ‘you can’t, it’ll break the ring’s alignment’ would work, but there’s absolutely nothing
@@DarkKosmic There's no evidence that if the Slayer had pulled VEGA out, that he would still be able to get to Earth. Why, exactly, are you choosing to argue over this, and over one detail?
In the words of Hugo Martin "Or you could just get good."
Lol
Yes sirrrrrrr
Thank you.

I liked the story in doom eternal, it reminds me of the story in the original doom. Not complicated, to the point and it just justifies your actions without you having to think too hard. I understand other people like story in games and that's fine, but I feel like the game stays true to its roots. For better or worse.
The story isn't told to you in an direct way. You have to piece it together for yourself. The over arching story that is. The surface layer of what's is happening and why is perfectly told if you are watching the cutscenes.
People who skip cutscenes had complained about it to no end if this game had more in your face story. Those guys are a big part of the fanbase.
if people wanted story they should read a book
I love that the Guns and Bullets magazine is actually a Fallout Reference

Great review except i disagree with the critic on the marauder. He is a huge skill check in the game. End of story. Replay earlier segments on harder difficulties if you need to "get good". This game kinda is a competitive sigle player game

I feel like the story for me felt good, as a long time doom fan I was satisfied with what was brought to the table especially with the final boss
Jose Lozada same. Tho if people read the lore pickups they might actually understand what’s going on
It's similar to 2016 where there's a basic story upfront, but something much bigger if you look around. I'd say Doom 2016 delivered it's upfront story much better, but reading all the codex stuff in Eternal just makes me love that games' overall story way more.
Same
It always baffles me when I see people absolutely missing key elements of dialogue or lore bits and as such being unable to comprehend the story. The story in eternal felt straightforward, and while not the best thing ever, fairly simple and oldschool video gamey, just like practically everything else in this game.
Jose Lozada I feel the same way I actually like the story
i thought eternal had a decent story, it kept me interested and had good lore
Even better gore!
I actually like the marauder and I think he works really good In group fights, he puts pressure on the player and is like a objective. An enemy constantly harassing you while your trying to kill other demons. If you take him out first(which isn’t hard once you know how to use combos) he functions different to every other demon by design. He’s meant to make you panic and like I said earlier it’s like a secondary objective
Also the complaint that you have to switch weapons every 5 seconds is completely how the game was made, it was made to be a loop or as people like to call it, the doom dance.
Dr Hayden: You can’t just shoot a hole on the surface of Mars!
Doomslayer: *I WILL BLOW A HOLE IN THE SURFACE OF MARS*

When Act Man finally makes a video about Doom Eternal:
Palpatine: "Long have I waited!"
i have forseen it....
I tried playing the two new wolfenstein games and doom 2016 after this, and I have to say, the speed is a complete game maker
Overall, I didn’t get into the game until I ran it in nightmare. That was amazing.
The marauder is only as difficult as the enemies you have to deal with alongside him, so prioritizing them and meathooking around trivializes him
I love how in Eternals intro it’s like:
Yo we back on Mars
And Then the Camera goes off planet:
Where’s the camera going
Shows a destroyed Moon and ravaged Earth:
Oh yeah
Act Man just casually misses out that the story confirmed that THIS IS THE SAME DAMN DOOMGUY FROM THE ORIGINAL DOOM GAME HOLY HELL
"The stowy's forgettable uwu. No, I didn't read or pay attention"
Can't believe he said that the story is weak and the characters are forgettable. Literally going to unsubscribe and have PTSD for such a horrible way to say for such a great masterpiece. Fuck ass man 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
@@user-uc9cu2lg9h ok boomer
Yea, the new doom games aren't just a reboot, it expands upon the story
F I agree
I’m gonna be honest man of acting, this is my first time I’ve disagreed with you.
1: Personally I feel the marauder enforces speed and staying on the move more than anything. Getting quick chainsaws and glory kills after stunning him. Keeping distance with dodges. Quickly taking advantage of his attacks. Not shooting his shield so the dog won’t come out. It’s like a quick dance.
2: The parts you called cringey I found SICK. The part where the DoomSlayer talks felt awesome because it not only connected him to the universe but just was a huge revelation and he just sounded sick.
3: The lack of ammo really in my opinion made you better at the game. It was way more fun to be constantly switching between guns, something that most players didn’t do in 2016.
4: The story was great. I’m not even a hardcore fan. In fact I’ve only played 2016 and Eternal. I loved the characters. The betrayer showing up was great. Especially because it really starts off the DoomSlayer’s origin by shutting a theory down. The Khan Makyr was a fun villain, design wise and character wise. Does she have a lot of depth, no, but she did enough in my opinion.
In general i might’ve disagreed with you but I watched the whole thing because I love your videos and your personality. I also agreed with you gameplay wise as well.
I agree with you almost completely, I do think the story is shit on par with a Wattpad/SCP fan fiction of Doom with MAJOR inconsistency, specifically for King Novik and his opinion on you fighting or not.
But otherwise I completely agree with you.
@@emerson-biggons7078 The story was fun for me imo, the codex made everything better, there are a lot of moments when you are like ohhh and ahhh
@@damousx6860 dont get me wrong, I fucking loved every second of it. But its quality is sub par.
Nooby Dooby, i would recommend that you play brutal doom with berserk (IDBEHOLDS keyboard cheat code) if you want to fill entire rooms with blood.
Note: Brutal Doom is a fangame and an overhaul of doom 2, to get the full experience i would recommend playing it with Maps of Chaos and use GZDoom to run it.
Just select both wads and drag it into GZDoom.
I agree with you except for the cringey dialogue. I honestly started laughing when Doom guy spoke because the writing and delivery of his dialogue was atrocious. His voice sounded like some low testosterone nerd in a studio trying to put on a tough guy voice.
34:52 It's funny because they actually add a modality called Horde mode
The Act man said in his *Is Halo CE a masterpiece* that “when you do the Library mission it forces you to switch up your strategy, and that’s a good thing”
So isn’t it the same for the marauder, your using the *GUNS BLAZE SHOOT EVERYONE DIE* strategy the whole game but when the marauder comes around your forced to switch up your strategy and figure out how to beat him
I mean the strategy of backing off from him and wait for the green light is kinda boring tho
@@NguyenKien1808 it takes 20 seconds to kill 20 seconds
@@lemonke1709 There're ways to kill him in 2 seconds. Which still make him boring to fight tbh
@@NguyenKien1808 how many demons do you rush and get in there face

The story is actually pretty interesting when you read into it. It may seem forgettable but trust me, the story *enhances* the experience. Like seriously, it even makes the music in the game even better.
For example, the track "Gladiator Boss." It sounds cool on it's own, right? Well, after reading into the story you will come to find out that the chants are of fallen sentinel soldiers, your former brethren, cheering you on telling you to kill everything in sight.
The Slayer, having chosen to stay in hell in Doom 64, finds his way to sentinel prime. When he arrives, he is a 'worn warrior'.
Him yelling about the demons isn't bad writing, it's the ravings of a man who's almost gone mad from all the fighting. When Doomguy was first brought into the Gladiator arena to prove himself to be worthy to join the Sentinel army, he would beat the shit out of everyone participating while yelling "Rip and Tear."
The sentinels (who spoke their own language) had no idea what he was saying, but the few who did speak English (like the priests and some guards) translated it to their language as "Kar En Tuk" and that became their battle cry. This makes the part when you arrive on sentinel prime even cooler when all of the Soldiers greet you with a resounding "RIP AND TEAR!" this is only a portion of the cool story writing. (Another example being how Samuel Hayden is most likely the Seraphim)
The story only seems forgettable because you actually have to look for the story to really get it, the campaign only shows you the bare bones of what's happening.
that's the only part im confused about. i love the story, but how did the priests and some guards know english, when, to them, its a completely alien language?
@@erin3967 Well, the higher-ups knew English, the common-folk did not
Snavels i get that, but do you think that just because they’re a higher rank that they somehow know a language they have never heard? I would understand kahn makyr understanding it, but even that is a stretch.
@@erin3967 I'm sure the Kahn Maykr knows every language in existence
But the longer the icon of sin is on earth the stronger it becomes
"Dialogue is forgettable"
Every samuel hayden voice line: "Are you sure about that"

I LOVE, how DOOM Guy fixed the Hell Priest's crown after he killed him. I thought that was great.
The marauder is actually a pretty good enemy he actually forces you to speed the hell up instead of you being super slow infact the marauder and the doom hunter carry the combat by making it harder and there more fun to kill them
I think his amin issue is weapon choice
I’m seeing chain gun, plasma rifle and combat shotgun grenades
Weapons that just don’t work against him
Particularly bad is the rockets since the splash damage just has him send the wolf out when you’re going after other demons
Since precision weapons like the SSG, ballista and sniper HC are the best choices
I run like a bitch when the marauder comes out to play
"Characters are forgettable"
Most of Samuel Hayden dialogue and InternGuy: *_dude what the actual f-_*
Ah yes Samuel Hayden

I often think that Doomguy/Doomslayer isn't growing "softer" but smarter and more technical. He probably doesn't punch the drones because he thinks "I can use this later".
It worked in 2016 because "all he had to do" was get to the tower to deactivate it and kill everything in his path. Pure brute force worked perfectly for that.
This time around he has a war to win. A *slight* increase in tactical thinking and acting is both appreciated and understood.
He's not just a mindless "Unga bunga punch !" type of guy he has a brain that knows how to kill demons on a larger scale and uses it and I like that.
21:35, the classic act man shit part of the game music starts play and I went "oh no, here we go again"
"Marauder forces the player to slow down"
Laughs in full auto shotgun one cycle Marauder kill.
Lol I loved your doom eternal montages
*Laughs in "murdering literally everything in seconds just so I can beat the shit out of a single Marauder"*
*laughs in explosive shotgun
yea, looks like Act Man didn't find solution to Marauder, he has few ways to be instantly killed or tricked.
Three sticky bombs and two grenades
26:15 Actually he doesn't punching the droid only adds to Doom guy's character, he punched the droids in 2016 because they were UAC's droids, in eternal if you look close you can see "Vega" written on it, and Doom Guy likes Vega, is like one of his friends, it's basicly's doom guy's jarvis
That's attention to detail
"Even if u forget u have ice grenade" lol, never heard more truer words 😂 I thought I was the only one who always forgot.
